Glenfarclas 12 Year Old Single Malt
Glenfarclas 12 Year Old is a beautifully balanced Highland single malt that builds on the distillery’s signature sherry‑cask style with extra depth, richness and maturity. It remains true to the family‑owned character of Glenfarclas, offering a whisky that is both approachable and refined, with a classic profile that appeals to seasoned drinkers and newcomers alike. The nose shows warm honey, dried fruit and gentle oak, lifted by hints of citrus and vanilla. On the palate it is fuller and richer than the 10 year old, with flavours of toffee, sultana, malt sweetness and a touch of spice from the sherry wood. A subtle nuttiness and soft oak round out the mid‑palate. The finish is long, smooth and warming, leaving lingering notes of fruitcake, caramel and gentle spice that showcase the elegance of extended ageing.
Glenfiddich 15 Year Old Single Malt
Exemplifying Glenfiddich's family’s tradition of innovation, the 15 Year Old expression is created using a technique pioneered by their Malt Master and its warm, spicy flavours are transformed with the alchemy of the Solera Vat. Aged in European oak sherry casks and new oak casks, the whisky is mellowed in a unique Solera Vat, a large oak tun inspired by the sherry bodegas of Spain and Portugal. Never emptied, and kept half full of whiskies since 1998, a Solera Vat is the culmination of curious minds and the pioneering spirit of the family. It’s also the secret behind this whisky becoming the first 15 year old expression to enter the top ten best selling single malts.
